Maybe so, ut it does no favours towards players like Tyjon, Montgomery ect, who end up playing next to no football at any level

Trying to rush the kids up to U21's level might have something to do with it as the academy conveyor belt towards the first team is running on low in the near future i'd say.

The I know best, thats emanating from other areas of the club. They are teaching the coach their traits.

Rigger I back you. I've seen enough of Valerian to think what I think on him

I am 66, and I am learning how to use a smart phone. Every day is a school day.

I know it's down to Ismael's thinking but in my view his rationale is flawed. Some of the best centre back pairings I have seen at Rovers haven't been a left/right foot combination. Faz and Keeley, Nelson and Samba and Hyam and Baath. Ismael will use inverted wingers but at centre half he wants something different. His logic is really flawed and contributed to our defeat yesterday in my view. It comes across as 'I know best' arrogance.

What is also scandalous is that some supporters go along with it.

That was beyond a terrible performance. Charlton looked awful and we didn't lay a glove on them. Not getting too upset over it as we've put in some decent performances over the last few games. I'm still confident that Val isn't the man - Happy to be proved wrong but with all what's going on off the pitch we will be milling around bottom half all season.

He's just turned 50, if he's not learnt already, he never will.

Even Tyjon, Michalski, Montgomery etc who are getting no game time for the first team and are still age wise, U21 players I think it's Adam Owen who is responsible for "alignment" between first team and the underage groups, but your point still stands, surely a few should be featuring at some point, the second U21 game last week was essentially the U18s, and a kid who had turned 14 earlier this month ended up playing 30 minutes from the bench, Rovers were 3-1 up when he came on, they lost 4-3

Let's hope VI learns from it.

Been an absolute bloodbath, this. Loved McIlroy telling them to STFU when he was teeing off 🤌.

Fantastic Performance by Europe again. Great 2 days

Ismael want a right foot at right centre back and left footed at left centre back from his comments. I'm surprised he didnt go 3 at the back at half time or during the second half. Also Pickering started was a strange move by him.

Yeah....They did not even sack Steve Kean!

A few games this coming week U21s are away to Leicester on Monday night PL Cup (U17) game at home against the Dingles on Tuesday afternoon U21s are away to Stoke on Friday night U18s are away to Leeds on Saturday The U21s also have a couple of cup games during the international break Home to Leyton Orient on the 8th Oct in the Premier League Cup Away to Preston on the 14th Oct in the Central League Cup Wonder if they will try to replay the U18 Wolves game during the break?

Forward planning. You can’t ’do away’ with the under 21’s if you keep using it.

I'll give Pickering a pass this time as he's understandably rusty but Tavares is a joke. Good point about the U21's and it was something JDT's early revolution wove into the squad to keep players busy but we are now back to the casual hands on hips approach it seems. Where is Gestede when it comes to this kind of thing ? He's the boss of the football side of things so surely he can implement it. Or is he too busy nursing his eggshell ego because someone has wrote a bad word about him.

Alan Nixon reporting that Rovers want the EFL to tell Ipswich they should give us a goal.. Also want to know why those 3 championship board members abstain

Tavares looked miles off it yesterday as did Pickering. What really grates with me is that last week there were two under 21 games and not one of the first team squad (who haven't had much game time) featured at all. If it was in Ismael's mind to start with Pickering then surely he should have at least got some competitive game time under his belt.

Keith Andrews's Brentford beating United. Well done Keith. United its just a complete mess there. Its been more than clear Amorim cannot turn this United team around and his tactics dont work and he doesn't have the players for it. Its clear what United's decision makers should be doing here but let's it continue cos its very entertaining for me and others

I can confirm that they aren’t paying us on here..! 😉

How do we know they aren’t in here either?

The comments section is overrun by bots. And you know what... it works. It does help guide opinion.

Tavares is the most casual limp disinterested player iv'e seen here in a long while and that's saying something. Piss poor. as is the head coach keep trying to get a tune out of him and dragging the team down even more seemingly trying to justify his signing. He clearly isn't suited to what they want him to do. After watching about 20 mins of Travis yesterday for Derby this lad is as big a downgrade as you can get.
